Swimming: Titmus fires Olympic warning with fastest 400m freestyle of year

The Hindu  

World record holder Ariarne Titmus fired a warning shot on Friday to Katie Ledecky and Summer McIntosh ahead of the Paris Olympics with the fastest 400m freestyle of the year. Titmus beat Ledecky in a thrilling final at the Tokyo Olympics then broke the American great’s long-standing world record in 2022, only for Canadian teenager McIntosh to better the mark last year. RELATED: McKeown swims fourth fastest 400m medley ever, but not on Olympic agenda The 22-year-old powered to a 27.07 finish ahead of Mollie O’Callaghan in the fifth fastest time ever. “Had a bit of fun trying to change gears this meet, it’s been good training,” said McKeown, who is also the 100m and 200m backstroke world record holder.
